Abstract: A disk thrower is disclosed for simultaneously launching two clay targets. The thrower includes two target holders attached to an adjuster which is mounted to a handle for swinging the thrower. The target holders are adjustable along supports formed on the adjuster. A first one of the target holders is arcuately movable along an arc wherein the first target holder is movable relative to a second target holder while lying in a single pane. The second target holder is movable to different positions on the adjuster whereby the second target holder is adapted to lie in different predetermined planes relative to the adjuster and first target holder such that a target held by the second target holder will follow a predetermined convergent, divergent or parallel trajectory relative to a target held by the first target holder.

Two ammunition trays also sized to be received within the housing, include a plurality of apertures and downwardly descending sleeves to receive cartridges therein. The container is adapted to receive a wide variety of cartridge calibers by inserting the cartridge support shelf into the housing such that it is supported at either the first or second height above the floor followed by insertion of a selected one of the ammunition trays.
Abstract: A combination walking stick and shooting rest comprises a generally L-shaped body having an elongated first member and a second member extending generally perpendicular to the first member at one end. A plurality of serrations extend along the forward and rearward edge of the elongated first member. An adjustable shooting support includes a rectangular aperture through one end thereof which receives the first member. The support can be moved along the first member when oriented generally perpendicular thereto. Once located at a desired position along the first member, the support is canted to engage the serrations and provide support at the selected location. The end of the elongated first member opposite to the second member is tapered to a point for insertion into the ground. The second member includes an upwardly concave surface which serves as a fixed support and also accommodates the palm of a user's hand.
